I don't care how many Corinthian columns you throw at the thing.

You know, Trump made the point that just as we're ahead of schedule on the ballroom, we're also ahead of schedule on the war in Iran.

I actually do think it's a good analogy because he knocked down the East Wing

and in a completely capricious and unplanned way, only to turn around and quickly kind of, based on just sort of sketches, approve a massive change to the White House.

And the second you start peering at it closely, it raises all kinds of questions, questions that nobody seems to have asked because they're all being driven by Donald Trump, who only wants to be told, yes, sir, great idea, sir, taller than ever, sir, Corinthian column, sir.

These people are vandals.

Yeah, so I remember, Ryan, remember we made that graphic that showed, I couldn't believe what they were saying, that they were really making something this big.

Because if you actually look at the footprint that they were talking about before we saw the plans, it's like, that can't be, it's so much bigger than the actual White House.

But then you look at what they've actually laid out, and that is what it is.

And as these drawings make clear, it's just gonna be a blight.

In that area, it's going to change all kinds of sites.

It's going to be bigger than the White House.

You're going to see it because it's so big.

So that's what you'll see.

You won't see the White House.

That's three times the size of the fucking residence.

I think before we even get there, I do think like it's clearly been something that broke through for people.

And the idea that we are at a time when people are spending so much for gas, when we're at war, when people feel like the Trump has fundamentally failed to care about the things he said he was going to do.

the fact that they are building this monstrosity is just gonna be a beacon of everything that has gone wrong with this administration and we should use it that way.

And by the way, I don't know how you're gonna build something this big as quickly as they claim they're going to build it.
